title: [Giant lipoma of the third finger: a case report].
abstract: Lipomas are benign tumors composed of mature fat. They rarely arise in the hand and are even rarer in the fingers. The lipoma is called "giant" when the resected specimen exceeds 5 cm in diameter. We report a rare case of giant lipoma in a finger.
